As a leading producer of custom rubber watch straps, Rubber B enjoys bringing attention to watchmakers who share our commitment to excellence and passion for the world of horology. We appreciate the opportunity, even more, when we can spotlight companies who we sincerely believe deserve to be given extra attention because they are taking action to actually improve not only the world of watchmaking but the world at large.
One such company is IWC, or International Watch Company, which is one of the most respected watchmaking firms in the world. However, they are not written or spoken about as often as some of their peers. This is, at least in part, because IWC eschews flashy advertising campaigns and other traditional promotional tools in lieu of spending their money in other places that they feel are worthwhile.
IWC is one of the leading watchmaking companies in terms of environmental sustainability, and they continually lead the forefront towards a world where watchmaking becomes a more environmentally friendly process. In December of 2018, the World Wide Fund for Nature evaluated 15 different watchmakers in terms of how environmentally friendly their production process was. They received a rating of “Ambitious,” which was the highest possible rating, and were ranked number one out of all 15 companies.
In honor of this achievement, we are going to more closely examine one of their watches, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph IW377709, as well as look more closely at whether IWC watches last over longer periods of time.
What Are The Technical Specifics of The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph IW377709?
As its name implies, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph IW377709 is a chronograph, which means it is far more accurate than a standard watch. This watch has its roots in the world of aviation, as pilots needed the most accurate instruments possible to keep track of the time and ensure that flights arrived and departed on time.
This dedication to technical precision can be seen in the technical specifics of this watch. This timepiece comes in a stainless steel case and measures 43.0 mm in diameter, with a height of 15.4 mm. The crowns are screwed in, and the watch is water-resistant for up to six bars.
The IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph operates on the 79320 caliber, which is both self-winding and automatic. While IWC does sometimes use movements that have been developed in-house in their timepieces, this watch does not include one. It is comprised of 240 components and includes 25 jewels. The movement vibrates at a frequency of 28800.0 vph. The dial comes in an elegant black finish and is also luminescent.
In terms of its timekeeping ability, this watch has a chronograph function that keeps track of the hours, minutes, and seconds, which harkens back to its roots in aviation, along with a traditional day and date display. Further continuing that trend, this watch also has specially made glass that has been secured against displacement by a drop in air pressure. It also contains a soft-iron inner case, which is vital for protection against magnetic fields.
How Do IWC Watches Rate in Terms of Longevity?
In keeping with the traditions of their Swiss peers, IWC watches are consistently rated as among some of the best in the world, especially where their durability is concerned. These watches are often made for those who have active lifestyles or who work in the sciences, so making sure they last for years to come is vitally important to the company. Their watches are known for being used by people who work in occupations where precision timing is very important, and it is their commitment to making timepieces that are both accurate and durable that have allowed IWC to have been a successful company for over a decade.
